“For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt a rebel living inside me. At first, he seemed small and shy, but as I grew up, so did he—becoming stronger and louder with every significant experience I’ve had.

This rebel is responsible for almost everything that has ever gone wrong in my life, including every time I got myself into trouble and every moment I felt held back, mistreated, or misunderstood. He’s the reason for every bit of resistance I’ve faced, every obstacle I’ve encountered, and every detour I’ve taken.

But I can’t blame him. I’m quite certain it’s his body I’m inhabiting.
In fact, I have no doubt that this rebel has always been my higher self, doing its best to get through to me.”
